Rails: Get remote page via ajax - javascript

I use Rails3 and I try to get remote page via ajax. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=).
$.ajax({
url: app_url,
type: 'GET',
data: "id=<id>",
crossDomain : true,
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function ( code ) {
alert("Good.");
}
});
When I run the script, the I see: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < " error message.
By the way, I tried do it as:
$.ajax({
url: app_url,
type: 'GET',
data: "id=<id>",
crossDomain : true,
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function ( code ) {
alert("Good.");
}
});
But I see "Origin http://example.com:3000 is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin." error message.
How can I fix the error and get the page ?
Thanks.

If you are trying to access remote pages via AJAX, that page may be blocking your request. The error message would suggest this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTTP_access_control
EDIT
For clarity, Access-Control-Allow-Origin is the server setting which "origins" are allowed to retrieve from it. You could possibly grab this page server-side, and depending on google's level of security, you may have to spoof a browser. PHP CURL comes to mind. You would then set up an ajax call to your server script, your server would go get the page for you, then return it to you ajax call.

Getting parse error while fetching text file content in JQuery

I am trying to fetch data from text file which resides on server. I have access of that location and able to see content when I put URL in browser tab.
I am trying to make AJAX call and get file content, but I am getting Error: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
Code
function logResults(json){
console.log(json);
}
$.ajax({
url: u,
dataType: "jsonp",
jsonpCallback: "logResults"
});
on console,
I tried below code too, but same result,
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: u,
crossDomain: true,
dataType: 'jsonp',
async: false,
headers: {
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*"
},
success: function(succ) {
console.log("Success: ", succ)
},
error: function(err) {
console.log("Error: ", err)
}
});
This code is always going into error block.
You said:
dataType: "jsonp",
But the URL is responding with:
Deployment automatically finished…
Which is not JSONP, it is plain text.
You get the error when it tries to execute the plain text as JSONP.
Don't put wrong information in the dataType field.
async: false,
That's deprecated. Don't use it. It's also pointless since you are using callbacks.
It's also incompatible with JSONP so it is ignored (until you remove the incorrect dataType).
crossDomain: true,
This has no effect unless you are making a:
non-JSONP request
to the same origin
which gets redirected to a different origin
… which is very rare.
headers: {
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*"
},
Access-Control-Allow-Origin is a response header. It doesn't belong the request. Trying to add it to the request will cause extra problems as it will make the request preflighted.
(At least, that would be the case if you hadn't said dataType: 'jsonp' because adding request headers is incompatible with JSONP).
All you need on the client
The only code you need on the client is:
function logResults(result){
console.log(result);
}
$.ajax({
url: u,
success: logResults
});
The server you are requesting the data from will need to use CORS to grant you permission to access it if it is a cross-origin request.
It is because you have added dataType as jsonp, so that it will try to parse the response to JSON and if the response is not a JSON it will throw error.

JSONP and Framework7

I'm trying to get images from Instagram public api via ajax and JSONP:
var target = https://www.instagram.com/p/BP3Wu_EDXsjdT5Llz13jFv2UeS0Vw0OTxrztmo0/?__a=1?callback=?';
$$.ajax({
type: "GET",
dataType: 'json',
crossDomain: true,
url: target,
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
},
error: function(xhr,status){
console.log("Error"+status);
}
});
I'm getting: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <.
What's wrong?
Thanks
A few mistakes...
var target = 'https://www.instagram.com/p/BP3Wu_EDXsjdT5Llz13jFv2UeS0Vw0OTxrztmo0/?__a=1&callback=';
Changes: Missing ' at the beginning and changed second ? with &
Should work fine
That API with ?__a=1 is undocumented API and does not support JSONP, so you cannot make client side API call using AJAX, you have to make a server side http request and it will work.

Cross domain ajax causing issues to render data

I trying to capture data from an HTML form which will be placed on another website. From that form I need to capture data into my website. But when I tried jQuery Ajax call for cross domain it shows me 302 error with no response.
I've tried this
$('button[type="button"]').on('click', function(){
var data = $('.data-capture-form').serialize();
$.ajax({
type : 'POST',
url: 'http://prospectbank.co.uk/leads/test',
dataType: 'jsonp',
crossDomain : true,
data : data,
contentType: 'application/jsonp'
}).done(function(res){
var resp = $.parseJSON(res);
console.log(resp);
});
});
Where is problem with this code? Any help?
Fiddle Code
If you have access to the server, add the following header:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
And then make JSONP calls
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType: 'jsonp',
...... etc ....
If you do not have access to the external server, you have to direct the request to your server and then make a proxied call to the external server.

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : ajax call

So I'm trying to query the below json feed, however I keep getting the error in the topic.
I've searched around this site for possible answers however none that I've come across have worked so far. Commented out datatype and jsonp, jsonpCallback isnt it either, either is data, I've made sure that it validats via http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ and it does. I really dont know.
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'http://raidbots.com/json/playerdata/us/mannoroth/usiris',
cache:true,
dataType: 'jsonp',
data: {
format: 'json',
},
success: ranks,
jsonpCallback:'callbackName',
error: function(data) { console.log(data); },
jsonp: false,
});
function callbackName(data){
console.log("jsonpCallback");
}
var ranks = function(data) {
console.log(data);
}
Thank you

The error is in your JSONp data because it's just JSON and not JSONp. JSONp requires the document to be valid JavaScript containing a function call.
If they don't support jsonp you need to use a proxy script (e.g. a php script on your server that retrieves the document) or ask them to send CORS headers so you can use a normal non-JSONp AJAX call to retrieve the data directly.

Ajax get request to wsdl web-service

i have wsdl file and i need get data from. How i can do this ? i'm trying do this with ajax
like this:
jq.ajax({
url: 'http://url.wsdl',
type: 'get',
success: function(data){
alert("OK " + data);
},
error: function (x, y, z) {
alert("ERROR");
}
});
what i do wrong ?
Any other way to get data from wsdl web service using javascript, jquery and etc. is?
I think what you are missing is a data: {}
I read that there was some sort of bug if you did not include that when using $.ajax
Oh, and most likely you are going to need dataType: "json" or whatever datatype the service is using.
Here is an example i am using against an online webservice:
jQuery.support.cors = true; //enables cross domain queries for Ajax
$('#jqueryBtn').click
(function ()
{
$.ajax
(
{
type: "GET",
url: "http://www.webservicemart.com//uszip.asmx/ValidateZip",
data: { 'ZipCode': '22553' },
dataType: 'html',
success: jqSuccess,
error: jqError
}
);
}
Hopefully you can use this example to fix your own code
http://forum.jquery.com/topic/jquery-ajax-to-call-a-wsdl-web-service
The following link should explain why you cannot use AJAX for cross domain queries:
http://www.w3schools.com/xmL/xml_parser.asp:
Access Across Domains
For security reasons, modern browsers do not allow access across
domains.
This means, that both the web page and the file it tries to load,
must be located on the same server.
The examples on W3Schools all open XML files located on the W3Schools
domain.
If you want to use the example above on one of your web pages, the file you load must be located on your own server.
You can create a proxy web page in your web server to access to WSDL web service and return result to the AJAX request
